Pros

Interesting projects to work on if you are technically minded

Cons

After acquisition of CH2M, Jacobs continues to struggle to integrate the two companies both from a people and tools perspective. From those that are use to a more nimble company, Jacobs will appear very slow moving, bureaucratic and uninspiring. Benefits are also very uninspiring and you really just feel like a number in a large organization.

Pros

Decent culture, individual contributors are fine, management is lacking

Cons

The company operates like many smaller companies depending on which business market you are in so your experience will vary. For some, it's the best company, others will say it's the worst; it just depends on your region/group even at the local level. Water/wastewater is a good market in most offices, transportation is hit an miss depending on location.
